CBC Site Of course the Ottawa resident isn’t going to leave Stornoway and move to his suburban McMansion. Unemployable as he is, finding a mover who’ll take “I’m sure to win the next election!” as a guarantee of payment is, ummmm, sketchier than most movers will accept.
I heard he stole this kitty’s look and vibe.
Yes but have you considered that they can throw this at him any time they want?
in response to all “it’s just practical” posts: politics is not about practical (esp. in PP’s case) but about optics and gestures. Politician who wants to project integrity and confidence would make it known that they will not be using the place that doesn’t belong to them until such time that it becomes OK again. There needs not to be a “move” even, but the gesture of not utilizing residence could go a long way. Alternative is a projection of entitlement and arrogance.
Consider this: if you’re working for corporation and reside in corporation-sponsored residence, you’d be expected to vacate the place within rather short timeframe despite the fact that you’ve supplied your resume to HR for position that just opened. And considering that PP views are very corporate I see disconnect with rhetoric.
This is the point. L’il pp gets to keep his fancier Ottawa address that Canadians fund. Cause it has the patina of fiscal prudence for his troll and troglodite cultists.
But it’d be L’il pp having fits of unthinkable pearl clutching and calling to fetch the fainting couch if any other political loser tried to freeload any amount of time in Stornoway.
And Scheer’s lickspittle response is disingenuous at best, more likely calculated to garner him a bigger prize for his fealty and supposed sacrifice.
Hypocrisy and fraud are the only true goals of L’il pp’s populist kleptocracy. Not fairness. Not governance. Just what’s in it for me.
As for the diversionary whataboutism posted by bot accounts - thanks for showing up and revealing how your shallow your opinions really are. Lib = bad. L’il pp = good. Should vote NDP to split the left.
We get it. Divide and conquer. Just like the gop and the orange baboon’s ass did in 'Murica.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Enjoy your retirement funded by Canadians while book-burning in Floriduh!! !

Honestly I do think it’s fair for him to stay considering he will 99% for sure win his dumb by election and have to move back in anyway. I picture it reversed with the NDP or something and I’d think the same thing. I do think it’s stupid that I KNOW people would be losing their minds if the NDP or Liberals were in the same position though.
His lack of integrity is on full display. Campaigning to “vote for change”, not accepting the change his constituents voted for, then clearly taking advantage of taxpayer funded housing really just shows the true colours of both him and the CPC.

Both sides
That just doesn’t even make sense in our electoral system. Please leave the American tropes where they are, thanks!

I don’t like the guy but I understand that the riding that he is going to run in is most likely to elect him so he will be back as official opposition party leader. I can understand not having it move in and out just for a few months. It would be a completely different if he also lose the Alberta riding tho
They just want to crap on the guy to justify voting for a banker who stole most of Pierres platform, and now made the housing minister someone who said he wants prices to rise, and a finance minister who won’t release a budget for 2 years.
The “generational fairness” capital gains tax rolled back, the promise of cheaper housing rolled back, more debt to pay developer fees so that boomers property taxes can stay low, meanwhile the NDP is now dead.
We all need to gaslight ourselves that we made a good decision, but at least Brookfield’s residential real estate portfolio looks fantastic.
You need to stop suckling at the teat of MAGA oligarch owned corporate propaganda media. Pierre Polievre ran a campaign of grievance and, “I’m not Justin Trudeau.” Other than, “Neither am I” Carney had an actual platform with actual plans. Pierre Polievre had nothing. That’s is why he lost.
who stole most of Pierres platform
Dumb-ass argument/complaint. If its what people want, then its not a 0 sum game. Why the hell are the libs (or any party) not allowed to agree on something that the other parties proposed and the Canadian public want? Libs have ‘stolen’ the NDP platform for years. As someone who prefers NDP to lib, this is a GOOD thing, because it means when theyre elected, they can actually implement it (in theory). That being said, I don’t like ANY of those policies, and didn’t vote lib.
If they have the same platform/policies, but Carney was still elected that tells you how little people like or believe in Pierre. Honestly, Pierre lost the election by failing to leap into defense of Canada. I watched too many clips of him wiffle-waffling or blaming Liberals for the trade war, and that’s not something that inspires trust in leadership.
A 2 week old account posting over 250 times in that tiny duration, spending every single post completely blasting the Liberals and pretending to care about the NDP.
Hmmm…
Not sure I’ve ever seen such an egregious case of being on someone’s payroll. Then again, I guess there’s a chance this is someone so cripplingly, unapologetically far down the right-wing misinformation pipeline that they’ve completely lost control of their life and spend every waking moment trying to get images of the Liberals inviting immigrants into Canada and shutting down oil pipelines out of their heads.

Elections are always about the best choice from the options available. NDP were always going to get crushed, so this was the best possible outcome.
People need to stop seeing voting as an agreement with or support for everything a candidate does.
When’s that byelection happening?
